We know what we're adding to our reading list! Well...what we'd be adding to our reading list if we were teens...

Nope. We totally don't spend our time reading Young Adult (YA) novels. Not at all obsessed with The Hunger Games

Anyway. 

Kevin Keller, the Archie comics' first openly gay character, is getting his own hardcover novel and it's taking Kevin back to his middle school years!

Details after the jump!

Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes has consistently been noted for consistently diverse cast of actors and characters on her shows.

@yvonneh48 love your shows but why all the gay and lesbian story lines?

From managing to keep his lunch down with The Donald, to the Archie Comic world of Riverdale, George Takei is everywhere! 

The fierce LGBT advocate is headed to the pixelated pages of Archie Comics' Kevin Keller No. 6 and Takei couldn't be more thrilled. 

More after the jump.

Updated: Friday, 12:45 p.m. PST

Our friends at Towleroad brought it to our attention that our favorite daytime couple, Will and Sonny, were being censored on YouTube!

More accurately, their steamy kissing scene (complete with ::gasp:: the unbuttoning of a shirt!) was deemed "inappropriate" and an age verification was instituted. 

More after the jump.

What would Will & Grace have been like without Will?

Or at least Will as we know him? Apparently we almost had to find out as according to Megan Mullally, who played our patron saint booze hound, Karen Walker, Eric McCormack initially turned down the role.

Why? He didn't want to play gay. 

Watch the short clip from Mullally's interview on Larry King Now after the jump.

It's time to protect the children from the big scary gays!

William Bigelow at the Breitbart blog is pretty butt-hurt over the inclusion of a gay character in the new stop-motion animated zombie comedy, ParaNorman. Heaven forbid children be even casually aware of our existence. 

We'll refrain from detailing the plot-twist till after the jump, so as not spoil it for you.

Days of Our Lives caught quite a bit of heat from our readers yesterday when it was revealed that the show's leading gay character, Will, would suddenly be doing the horizonal tango with a female.

Perhaps that why the show is also promoting its upcoming gay bullying storyline centered around the character, Sonny.

More info on how Days will tackle the gay bullying epidemic after the jump!

We wonder if the GLAAD Awards have a "No Take-Backs" rule because we're sure they're side-eyeing Days Of Our Lives right now!

The soap had been giving us life over the past year with their beautifully crafted story following Will Horton's coming-out process.

Now the show's newly hired writers, Gary Tomlin and Chris Whitesell, are turning the whole story on its head and having Will have sex with a girl. Classy.

More after the jump.

We never realized how much we liked video games...

Until now.

Mass Effect 3 is certainly having a massive effect on us.

Check it out after the jump!

Grant Gustin is set to fill the shoes of Darren Criss as Glee's head Warbler, but it's how the actor says his villainous character might break down stereotypes on the hit show that's really got us paying attention.

Despite the nightly Ambien/Nyquil cocktail we've gargled since receiving word that Trevor Donovan's landmark 90210 gay character received a downgrade sharper than the one S&P gave the U.S., we've been unable to sleep. Now, with welcome news from the CW, we might finally get much needed beauty sleep in time for Labor Day shenanigans!
